KUNMING, March 29 (Xinhua) -- Southwest China's Yunnan Province has sent tents, blankets and folding beds to Myanmar on Saturday morning, after a massive earthquake jolted the Southeast Asian country on Friday.

The first batch of 80 tents and 290 blankets was sent to Myanmar via air at around 6:30 a.m. from the provincial capital Kunming. Preparation and transportation efforts for additional relief supplies are still underway, according to the Yunnan Food and Strategic Reserves Bureau.

Earlier on Saturday, a 37-member rescue team from Yunnan Province arrived in Myanmar, while a group of 16 Chinese volunteers also set out for the quake-hit areas to assist in disaster relief and rescue efforts.
